The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society
by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
In 1946, single, 30-something author Juliet Ashton is tired of traveling across Britain promoting her WWII columns about the sunny side of war. Then she receives a note from Dawsey Adams, who lives on the English island of Guernsey. Through a series of letters, Juliet grows to admire the people of Guernsey, a small, forgotten place taken over by the Germans during the war.
I HATE the title of this book, but I LOVE the story. People have complained about the letter-writing storyline... I thought it was a unique and very interesting way to see the thoughts of all the characters.
